Show your love with sweet cannabis treats
There are many stories associated with Valentine’s Day. It is said that St. Valentine of Rome inspired this month’s big commercial holiday. He was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers, who were forbidden to marry, and persecuted under the Roman Empire for aiding Christians. According to legend, during his imprisonment, Valentine healed the daughter of his jailer, and before his execution, he wrote her a letter signed “Your Valentine” as a farewell. He is also known as the patron saint of beekeepers.
Bees have long symbolized love, and beekeepers also symbolize the protection of the family. By managing hives and caring for their bees, beekeepers ensure that their bee colonies flourish and the honey continues to flow.
Keeping bees is a special calling – it requires scientific know-how as well as a kind and gentle heart – which can make one think of the nurturing and attention required to grow cannabis well.
Our Valentine’s Day Gift Guide has a similarly nourishing approach this year. Yes, we often think about couples on this romantic holiday, but let’s not forget self-love. Whether alone, with friends or with a lover, here are some great inspirations for a general ‘feel good’ kind of day!
”Love could inspire,
it found existence, even for a day
as the honey kept emptying sunlight
and he just kept buzzing! buzzing! …”
– Jodde Taylor
